I'm looking forward to purchasing a new mouse and mousepad combo since my table reflects a lot of light and I believe that's one of the reasons my mouse jumps to the corner of the screen sometimes (or looks up in the sky when I'm playing a game).
Anyway, I'm looking for people that have had mid to high-end mouses that have great performance at an outstanding price. Now, I know that the Razers get great feedback here, but elsewhere, I've heard that they break within a couple months of usage.
BTW, THIS IS REAL IMPORTANT and I want you guys to try this:
- take your mouse and move it from one side of the screen to the other eXtremely fast and see if the movement is registered on screen
- make a fairly sized swipe of the mouse
This is important to me, because I tend to use very low sensitivity in First Person Shooters and to turn 180 degrees, i literally swing the mouse from one end of the table to the next, but most of my mouses have one problem: they don't register the movement. Instead, it'll just wiggle around as if I hadn't turned at all. In windows, the mouse will fly up to the top of the screen or wiggle back to the same side i swung my mouse which is RIDICULOUS. I believe this is called negative acceleration. If you guys can do this swipe successfully (mouse movements register), let me know what kind of mouse you have. Some say it's a matter of USB polling speed. If you guys know of a USB tweaker I could get to change it to 500mhz instead of the 125, let me know.
I'd also like to note that I'm looking to overclock my system and any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 8)
